All we have now is a video, and it is not of very good quality. We need to confirm that these are the people. Therefore, it will take some time to identify the victims. We do not have access to the area to conduct a detailed examination. We also do not have access to the bodies to confirm the causes of death. Therefore, it will take time to identify them. Currently, the pre-trial investigation is still establishing the exact number of victims
